Amazon makes it hard to report problems with 3rd party sellers, but I wanted to make the people who work on GIMP and other free open source programs aware of these people if they want to do something about it. Maybe someone else will have better luck in figuring out how to report them to Amazon.

What would you report. It is legal and acceptable to recoup the cost of packaging and GIMP is included with other items, clip art and a "900-page PDF manual (in English). The seller while somewhat devious, is doing nothing wrong.

The GPL allows selling of GIMP provided the source code is also offered. This particular listing also packages value added clip art, etc.

It should be determined beforehand that the GPL has been violated in order to report a listing.
